Hotel Mariners has a guest car park, is within easy walking distance of the centre of town and train station, and prices start at £94.00 per night for a single room, £105.00 per night for a single occupancy small double, and £135.00 per night for a two person double or twin bed room. Once you have completed check out from this listing we will share the details for you to book and pay for one of our reserved ‘Crefft with Zoe’ rooms directly with the hotel itself.

We offer a cooling-off period of 14 days from initial booking of this listing during which a guest is eligible for a full refund, after which the terms and conditions of the booking apply. If you haven’t done so already, please read these here.
